TETRAVINYLTIN Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to very light yellow liquid

Uses

Tetravinyltin is used as a vinyllithium precursor; vinyl nucleophile source for Stille coupling.

Synthesis Reference(s)

1.Gassman, P. G.; Valcho, J. J.; Proehl, G. S.; Cooper, C. F. JACS 1980, 102, 6519.

reaction suitability

core: tin

Synthesis

Tetravinyltin is synthesized by the reaction of Vinylmagnesium Bromide with Tin(IV) Chloride in THF.¹

Purification Methods

Commercial tetravinyltin is commonly used without further purification. Large quantities are purified by fractional distillation. Smaller amounts may be filtered through a plug of silica.

Precautions

Tetravinyltin is toxic and should only be used in a well ventilated hood. All glassware should be rinsed in a KOH/EtOH bath during cleaning.
